  1. When I worked shifts and had trouble adjusting the body clock I tried Nytol and they were great - used to sleep like a log and they're available over the counter.
  2. There are a few on the picturesheffield.com site.
  3. I lived on Springwater Ave and as a kid witnessed two blokes literally fighting for the above named lady's affections. One of them had a bloody nose. ---------- Post added 06-11-2016 at 17:38 ---------- Yes I know this was posted years back but its nagging me - she lived at 37 not 39.
  4. Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are all non-EU. They benefit from free movement within the EEA under an EC directive. The Schengen Agreement imposes a Visa requirement on certain non-EEA nationals whereby they need a visa to travel through Europe. The two are totally distinct.
  5. Highly unlikely. Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein all benefit from free movement within Europe - none of them are in the EU.
  6. I didn't go to Roscoe Bank but I was taught by Mr West (mentioned above) at a different school - he was a wonderful teacher who I still think about nearly 40 years later. Amazing the effect a good teacher can have on you. It's no surprise to read other kids liked him. I wonder what he's doing now and just hope he's ok!
  7. He was born in hospital in Mexborough but he actually grew up in Goldthorpe on Probert Avenue.
  8. At the age these youths are, all you want is to be popular and have the latest "western" stuff - clothes, iphones, gadgets etc. When you find you're not popular because you're a bit of an arse, and add to this the high pressures of family expectation - conforming to traditional values and the shackles of muddy religious dogma it's a recipe for feeling miffed and wanting to knock somebody's headphones off their head.
  9. Why would you be scared of someone prepared to stand up to bullying and intimdation in the face of greater numbers? These kids are cowards, like all bullies. It's the right of everyone to confront bullies, man woman or child.
  10. But only when you agree with what's being said eh? Price of democracy I'm afraid. You'd still have to police the ban. I'm always suspicious of the "banning brigade". It only takes 5 minutes thought to see where it leads. You remove the right to free speech from one particular faction, and then another and then another........
  11. Point your employer in the direction of an annual leave calculator. https://www.gov.uk/calculate-your-holiday-entitlement
  12. Excellent old pic! thanks. You're not Mark Miwurdz of the Tube fame are you?
  13. I'm laughing at this and don't even know the bloke.
  14. I went to Birley Spa infants and juniors in the seventies. I enjoyed my time there and made some great friends. There were some great and not so great teachers who made real impressions on you at that age. Ones I remember in the infants were Miss Horrocks (used to go around singing Falling Apart at the Seams by Marmalade, a terrible song but it's funny the things you remember), Mrs Daemett, Mrs Hodgkinson, Mrs Bicker was the headteacher, Miss Markham (not a nice person IMHO) and an older woman called Mrs Grey I think who played the piano. There must have been others but I can't remember anymore. In the juniors I can remember Mr Mayson (head) Mr Auger (deputy) Mrs Wild - became ill and was replaced by Mr West (superb teacher) only stayed for a short time and then went to Roscoe Bank at Stannington I think. Miss Meegan, Mrs Roe, Mrs Cole, Mrs Bacon, Mr Duckett (great bloke), Mr Jepson, Mr Green, Mrs Blandford and the Brian Blessed of the classroom - the late Mr Jenkinson. Some of the dinner ladies were not very nice - I remember one of them telling me to stop playing football and hand her the ball. I was quite a distance away, but lined up my shot beautifully, and did a perfect chip right into her ample bosom. She was not pleased.
